Zen Technologies hit a day’s high of Rs 1,898.95 on BSE after its arm Vector Technics became India’s top drone propulsion maker.

Here’s what that actually means in simple terms. Propulsion is basically the engine and motor system that makes a drone fly, and until now, most Indian drone makers relied on imported motors and controllers, many traced back to Chinese suppliers.

Vector Technics said its Shamshabad facility can now produce 3,00,000 propulsion units a year, and it builds every single part of that system in-house, from motors and firmware to propellers and power electronics.

The company was direct about why this matters. It said most Indian players in this space import parts and assemble them locally, while a few build motors and stop there.

Vector Technics claims it is the only Indian company doing the entire stack itself, across both electric and fuel-based propulsion systems.

Its components already feature in frontline Indian defence programmes, and the company counts over 300 clients across 10 countries. Zen Technologies has had a strong run over the past year even with some ups and downs.

The stock touched a 52-week high of Rs 2,023.40 in June and remains up sharply on a year-to-date basis.

On the financial side, its March quarter revenue came in at Rs 71.90 crore, with net profit at Rs 14.75 crore, both lower than the December quarter’s numbers, though full-year FY26 profit stood at Rs 145.85 crore.

By 14:30 pm, the stock had cooled off its highs and was trading at Rs 1,848.35 on BSE, down 0.21%, from the previous close of Rs 1,852.25.
